Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Where was this little boy?
Thinking of that old and fragrant house, Gu Qingxue let out a breath and lay down again.
...It seemed that she still had to think of a way to find out where the house in her dream was in the future.
After a night without any dreams, Gu Qingxue brought the three little children to An Pharmacy for treatment in the morning the next day. When she returned home at night, she took care of the little children and went to sleep. After that, she continued to study Rong Zhan’s body for the poison, while doing the tests, she flipped through the ancient books and medical books to determine where the lethal poison came from.
Gu Qingxue busied herself for a full six days.
During these six days, every morning, Liu Yi would report Gu Qingyue’s every move would be reported to the yamen.
In the study, Rong Zhan was dressed in a white robe with crescent moons. He was reading the secret report that the secret guards had just sent over.
Liu Yi opened the door and came over, he cupped his hands toward Rong Zhan, “Master, now we can confirm that Gu Qingxue is the daughter of Imperial Physician Gu in the capital. However, she married into Dafu Village after Imperial Physician Gu died. After her husband died on the battlefield, she became a fool. I heard that she just recovered from her illness recently. As the daughter of the imperial physician, it is reasonable that she knows medical skills.”
“A mere daughter of the imperial physician can tell that I have been poisoned?” Rong Zhan snorted lightly, his eyes filled with coldness.
Liu Yi looked troubled, “Lady Gu has been traveling back and forth between An Pharmacy and Dafu Village for the past few days. I don’t see her studying master’s poison carefully. When the seven-day appointment arrives tomorrow, I don’t know what Lady Gu is going to do.”
Gu Qingxue had promised to cure Rong Zhan of the poison. The seven-day appointment was coming soon. If she could not give a reasonable explanation, she would be courting death.
Rong Zhan did not think much of it. He calmly flipped through the secret report in his hand, “If she plays with me, she will only die.”
Liu Yi’s face darkened. He bowed and continued, “Ji Yan has reported that the bandits from the North mountain are trying to snatch the officials’ wealth. They are going to act tonight. I wonder if Master wants to interfere?”
“The North mountain seems to be near Dafu Village?” Rong Zhan asked in return.
“Yes, it’s not far from Dafu village,” Liu Yi answered.
“Pass down the order. I will personally lead the secret guards to kill the bandits tonight. There must be no mistakes.”
After Rong Zhan finished speaking, he signaled Liu Yi to leave the room.
Today was the last day of the seven-day appointment. Gu Qingxue had applied for leave a day in advance with Shopkeeper Huang. After letting the three children go out to play early in the morning, she was fully focused on staying in the research institute and doing her final research.
The ground in the research institute was already filled with all kinds of medical books. Gu Qingxue was holding three test tubes in her hands and was carefully testing them.
The young butler rolled his eyes in disgust when he saw the dirty and messy environment. “Host, please maintain the hygiene in the research institute!”

“It’s my territory. I can do whatever I want. Go and play by yourself. Don’t disturb me.” Gu Qingxue did not have the time to deal with the young butler, instead, she looked at the open medical book. According to what was written in the medical book, after fusing the two special medicines together, she tested Rong Zhan’s fresh blood. Through the reaction of the fresh blood, she could determine what kind of poison Rong Zhan had been poisoned by.
The little butler was also attracted by Gu Qingxue’s serious look. It was curious and asked, “Master, what experiment are you doing here? Can you test out what kind of poison that big fish have been poisoned by?”
That big fish was the nickname the little butler had for Rong Zhang.
After all, curing Rong Zhang would earn her 10,000 points. To the little butler, Rong Zhang was also a big customer!
